Holier than thou

We tear you down

You may cry

We stare and frown

We build you up

And tear you down

We watch you drown

We stare and frown

We throw the stone

We leave you alone

We (holier than thou)

Shouting out in the loud

O-o-oh

We are the ones

That claim to know:

What the scriptures say

And how things should go

We are the ones

That claim to know

Holier than thou

We tear you down

You may cry

We stare and frown

We build you up

And tear you down

We watch you drown

We stare and frown

We are the ones

That claim to know:

What the scriptures say

And how things should go

We are the ones

That claim to know
